Higher orbital integrals, Shalika germs, and the Hochschild homology of Hecke algebras.
For closed oriented manifolds, we establish oriented homotopy invariance of higher signatures that come from the fundamental group of a large class of orientable -manifolds, including the “piecewise geometric” ones in the sense of Thurston. In particular, this class, that will be carefully described, is the class of all orientable -manifolds if the Thurston Geometrization Conjecture is true. In fact, for this type of groups, we show that the Baum-Connes Conjecture With Coefficients holds. The...
In this overview, we study how to reduce the index pairing for a fibre-product C*-algebra to the index pairing for the C*-algebra over which the fibre product is taken. As an example we analyze the case of suspensions and apply it to noncommutative instanton bundles of arbitrary charges over the suspension of quantum deformations of the 3-sphere.
Let (X,T) be a Cantor minimal system and let (R,) be the associated étale equivalence relation (the orbit equivalence relation). We show that for an arbitrary Cantor minimal system (Y,S) there exists a closed subset Z of X such that (Y,S) is conjugate to the subsystem (Z,T̃), where T̃ is the induced map on Z from T. We explore when we may choose Z to be a T-regular and/or a T-thin set, and we relate T-regularity of a set to R-étaleness. The latter concept plays an important role in the study of...
We extend the methods developed in our earlier work to algorithmically compute the intersection cohomology Betti numbers of reductive varieties. These form a class of highly symmetric varieties that includes equivariant compactifications of reductive groups. Thereby, we extend a well-known algorithm for toric varieties.
This paper presents a parametrization of a feed-forward control based on structures of subspaces for a non-interacting regulation. With advances in technological development, robotics is increasingly being used in many industrial sectors, including medical applications (e. g., micro-manipulation of internal tissues or laparoscopy). Typical problems in robotics and general mechanisms may be mathematically formalized and analyzed, resulting in outcomes so general that it is possible to speak of structural...
